Selling food for fundraising
You can sell food for fundraising without needing to register under the Food Act 2014 - but only up to 20 times in a calendar year. Some common examples here include sausage sizzles, cake stalls and a hangi. You still need to make sure the food you sell is safe and suitable to eat.
Fundraising must be carried out for the sole purpose of raising money for a charitable, benevolent, philanthropic, or cultural purpose. If you intend to personally take any profit from the selling of food you will need to be register under the Food Act 2014, as this would not be regarded as fundraising.
Find out more on the MPI website about fundraising and making sure food is safe to eat.
